Salt Lake City, Utah (PressExposure) November 14, 2009 -- EXTEDO, a key eSubmission solutions provider for life sciences firms, and MasterControl Inc., a leading document and quality management software firm, today announced the launch of a new integrated solution at the DIA Electronic Submission Conference in San Diego. The integration between EXTEDO eCTDmanager Suiteâ¢ and MasterControl Documentsâ¢ provides customers with an end-to-end solution for the management of documents and submissions to global life sciences regulatory agencies.

"By ensuring the management of both document and submission lifecycles in a single solution life sciences firms will be able to bring new products to market faster by accelerating in-house approvals, and ensuring that submissions are complete and accurate before they are sent to the regulator," stated Harv Martens, Vice President for North America and Japan at EXTEDO.

"We have seen a sizable increase in demand for an end-to-end document management and electronic submissions suite. This integration between MasterControl and EXTEDO represents the next generation in eSubmission solutions and provides our clients with a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy approach for handling regulatory filings," said Bryan Koslow, Global Vice President at MasterControl.
